None of the other members of the NEC left the meeting.
Interestingly there’s been no exodus of other NEC members leaving the venue in Irene, after the Presidential Protection Service motorcade left some 30 minutes ago. Many of them staying put for now. #ANCNEC

The NEC meeting began at 2pm and there has been no update on its discussion of Zuma’s future as president.
Earlier on Monday, all the opposition parties in Parliament called for the vote of no-confidence in Zuma to be moved forward to Tuesday and for Parliament to be dissolved.
The motion of no confidence has been scheduled to be tabled on February 22.
The postponement of the State of the Nation Address last week sent the country into a tail-spin, which was followed by talks of an exit plan for Zuma.
An NEC meeting that was scheduled for Wednesday last week was called off by Ramaphosa, who said his talks with Zuma had been constructive and laid the basis for a speedy resolution to the leadership question.
On Saturday, the ANC’s top six officials met without Zuma, but there was no media briefing afterwards.
